Hi Barry,
you are probably using a POI 2.* version. However, HPSF's codepage
support is in the CVS repository's HEAD revision only. You have to get
the source code from the CVS and compile it yourself. See
<http://jakarta.apache.org/site/cvsindex.html> for details on getting
the code.
The bad news is that HSSF of the CVS HEAD is broken. The good news is
that you should be able to replace the HPSF subdirectory in POI 2.5 with
the one from the CVS HEAD. If you do that please let me know it if
really works or encounter any problems!
Best regards
